As part of the Convention, IRA offers a series of Institutes on Sunday, April 28. You must pre-register for these Institutes. To download registration information or to register online, go to http://www.reading.org. Of particular interest to adult educators - and those in family literacy - is Institute #13: Teaching Reading to Adults: Effective Research-Based Strategies. In this day-long session, you will hear research findings from several ongoing studies and applications of findings from those studies. Included on the speaker list are John Comings and John Strucker (Harvard, NCSALL), Nickie Askov (Penn State, Goodling Institute for Research in Family Literacy), Sandra Baxter and John Kruidenier (National Institute for Literacy), Judy Alamprese (Abt Associates), Heide Spruck Wrigley (Aguirre), and Miriam Burt (National Center for ESL Literacy Education).
